I'm not entirely sure that's the only reason for the way I feel though. I can't quite put my finger on it but when playing FC3 I feel like I'm in a video game. Playing Arma has a different feel. It's something to do with the overall tone of the game. Colour palette and stuff like that. I'm not an artist so I lack the vocabulary to express what I mean. Highly frustrating. It's also something to do with FC3 obviously being centerered around me while Chernarus or Fakeghanistan are just "a place", not caring what I do or even if I do anything. Gah, I can't find the proper words.

I do understand you, though. I haven't played Far Cry 3 yet and probably won't for a while, but I believe what you feel is what I felt from Assassin's Creed to Assassin's Creed 2. Regardless of the quality of each game, I always felt the cities and overall scenery was more believable and realistic in the first game, and I always felt the color palette of the first game to be responsible.

Is this from Dishonoured?? I like the Mirror's Edge-meets-Gotham look.

It's from AssCreed:(No)Revelations
But yeah, I really loved the look of the forgotten archives, or whatever those levels were called. That tower reminds me a lot of the Citadel of HL2. Really like the lightning and atmosphere of that particular level.
The last screenshot I actually used as my wallpaper for quite some time. Really love the look.

Also, the print screen button does work but I actually like to play the game without the HUD. That was the main reason I wanted it.

Seph, how's playing the game without the HUD? I keep wishing I could remove it or at least make it a lot smaller, as I think would make it harder and more interesting. It spoils most of the exploration...

Also those shots look amazing!

Thanks man :-) It's so much more immersive without the HUD and it definitely makes the game a lot harder without the mini map (in a good way). I especially prefer it when you use stealth to take over enemy strongholds. Plus it's nice just to be able to explore the island without having a pop up every 2 minutes telling you to do the next mission.

We haven't been through anything, at least not to my knowledge, as I have absolutely no idea as to who you are. Furthermore, feel free to contact a mod to bitch, moan, and complain. Though I doubt it'll do any good.

No it isn't mate. I re-read the ToS and perused the FAQ, there isn't a single mention of photo file size restrictions. Seems like the type of person that trods about the web looking for things to bemoan about.

Maybe something should be added then. Way back on page 178 I advised people to not embed large image files (that time it was 24-bit PNGs).

However, a bit of common sense ought to suggest that making people download a bunch of 8Mb BMP files is poor form.
